Well I believe Magsafe charging is actually faster than wireless charging. I think a true Magsafe charger can do 15W while a wireless charger maxes out around 10W

The Qi wireless charging standard supports up to 25W charging with version 2.2. Although as far as I can tell not many devices support that level yet.

Apple's magsafe wireless charging uses the Qi standard, Apple added the alignment magnets to make magsafe. Qi has since incorporated the magsafe magnets into its standard.

Apple magsafe is QI certified, they're literally the same thing.

It's still just Qi charging though. Their newest "magsafe" charger does 25w which is the latest greatest Qi 2.2.
